The results for the best GP surgeries in the North East are in, with patients having their say on how their local GP practice is run.
More than 700,000 patients in England completed the latest 2025 GP Patient Survey, produced by Ipsos on behalf of NHS England, which was carried out between January and March this year, and gathers information on how patients feel about their local GP.
The survey reveals the best and worst surgeries in the North East and beyond, with 47% of those in the North East and Yorkshire region rating their local GP services as ‘very good’ and 31% ‘fairly good’.
It was a similar pattern elsewhere, with the majority of patients across the country described their overall experience of their GP practice as ‘very good’ (44%) or ‘fairly good’ (31%).
